When Florida voters go to the polls for the general election, they'll be asked to decide on Six amendments to the Florida Constitution.

The amendment issues vary widely -- and in some cases you have multiple issues in the same amendment.

Remember, all amendments must be approved by 60 percent of Florida voters to be added to the constitution.

Use this guide to help you better understand all the amendments before you turn in your ballot.
